1967 Porsche 911 S
- Engine
- 2.0L flat-six, 160 bhp
- Colour
- Polo Red
A 1967 Porsche 911 S, chassis 308081S, representing the first and most potent year of the short-wheelbase S model with 160 bhp from its two-litre flat-six. Delivered new in Polo Red over Black Leatherette through Ohio dealer Stoddard, the car accumulated modest mileage across two long-term owners before spending roughly two decades in dry barn storage. Rescued in 2015, it underwent a comprehensive bare-metal restoration by Miami specialist Straat Automobile, returning it to original colour, trim, and correct early Fuchs alloy wheels.
